Integrative STEM Education
in USA

10 Korea Natl Univ. of Education

 Why STEM Education in USA ?

Because students thought subjects such as

science, mathematics and technology were so
difficult to learn that they lost their interest in
learning

To solve this problem, integrative

STEM education focusing on
hands-on activity

Definition of STEAM Education
Ministry of Education (2011.12)

STEAM is an education that enhances students'

interest in and understanding of scientific
technology and fosters scientific technology-
oriented convergence thinking and problem-
solving skills.
.
Jinsoo KIM (2012.1)
"STEAM convergence education is a way to
stimulate students' interest in and understanding
of scientific technology and to cultivate creative
problem solving ability by integrating and
teaching subjects or contents of science,
technology, engineering, arts and mathematics"
